What is Rainwater Harvesting?
Rainwater harvesting is the practice of collecting and storing rain water for later use, typically for non potable purposes such as irrigation, toilet flushing or washing rather than allowing it to run off.
The purpose of rainwater harvesting?
To capture and store rain water which is a free and readily available resource.
How can it be applied in irrigation?
An “8 Days” custom designed rain water harvesting irrigation system is built to capture and store rain water typically from rooftops, using components like gutters, filters, storage tanks and pumps to irrigate your lawns, gardens and landscapes
Systems can range from simple rain barrels to more complex systems involving large storage tanks below grade level that store the collected rain water which would then be used to irrigate your properties softscapes. These storage tanks would be built with a pump that is hard wired to your irrigation controller. A lot of systems are designed with an alarm float that monitors the water level in the storage tank to signal when the property manager or homeowner would ever need to refill the water during a drought or period when a high rainfall hasn’t taken place.
